Above Atlanta GA, last night, at sunset looking West.
It was small but looking at it and squinting a little, it seemed pretty clear to me that it was just a bundle of (black?) balloons from the Pride event going on.
They drifted in very slowly from the left to the right, then behind the tall building (I'm pretty sure, but it could have been just obscured by the fading light and contrast from the sunset and not behind it) then shot upwards surprisingly quickly until it either popped or just was obscured by the clouds. It took me a sec to get my phone out of my pocket. There are two videos because I stopped to increase the exposure and check focus then started recording again, which in hindsight I could have done while it was recording. I missed when it shot upwards near the top of the building.
I thought it was a nice example of something moving somewhat quickly and suddenly. My guess is the AC fans at the top of that building (Rabobank International?) were blowing it upwards. The only slightly odd thing is that building is a bit far from the park but the whole city was celebrating Pride so balloons and things were all over the place.
Note, I did use pass-thru video encoding just to remove the audio from the video's since it was just really loud music.

Please note, I'm not claiming this is either the "Not There At All" or the "Figment of My Imagination", but on my screen, even zoomed in, I can't find anything.
